Design Inspiration
Ledger UI draws from best-in-class enterprise and fintech interfaces.
Primary Inspirations
Stripe

- Card-based layouts with subtle shadows
- Muted backgrounds with white content surfaces

Mercury
What we take: Premium fintech calm. Mercury demonstrates that banking interfaces can feel modern, trustworthy, and approachable simultaneously.
- Restrained color palette
- Generous spacing
- High-contrast text on clean backgrounds
- Professional without being cold
Cursor
What we take: Modern tooling aesthetic. Cursor shows how power-user interfaces can feel fast and responsive while remaining accessible.
- Keyboard-first interactions
- Fast transitions
- Dark mode as a first-class experience
- Information density with clear scanning patterns
Secondary Inspirations
Linear
Fast, keyboard-driven project management. Demonstrates that complex workflows can feel effortless with the right interaction patterns.
Vercel
Clean developer dashboards. Shows how metrics and deployment data can be presented with clarity and elegance.
Metronic as Foundation
Metronic v9.4.2 provides the structural foundation — layout variants, navigation patterns, and component density. We achieve pixel-perfect parity with Metronic first, then layer our design philosophy on top.
The sequence: Metronic structure → Ant Design components → Token-driven customization → Sovereign Minimalism aesthetic.
